Dear Krikor
Infact my using a dedicated server and no setting or configuration was changed recently, in the media folder i have the Cache folder set to 777 and the SRC folder set to 755
I believe k2 as full access to overwrite data, is there some other solution you might suggest for me to explore?
Or do you think i must reinstall k2?

Are you experiencing it in the component view, in a module or is it a custom module?

Hi
I managed the source of the issue and it seems coming from k2. I explain:
Lets take this article for example: www.defimedia.info/live-news/item/42067-bus-semi-low-floor-la-mauritius-bus-owners-federation-decue-de-la-mesure-annoncee-par-xld.html
The thumbnail of this article has URL: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/5688cfd57677c832e4f6d879b37053db_XL_thumb100.jpg
And the big image inside the article has URL: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/5688cfd57677c832e4f6d879b37053db_XL.jpg
In the URL for the thumbnail notice the end of the filename: thumb100.jpg
Every articles' thumbnail ends with this.
Now comes the tricky part, when I upload a new image over an existing image. Lets take this article as example: www.defimedia.info/live-news/item/42069-exportation-de-ferraille-les-conteneurs-en-provenance-de-maurice-contenait-des-pierres.html
The big version of the newly upload image (inside article) has this new URL: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/9b7ee3d0350be56446d52e7073839055_XL.jpg
The old image had the same URL,meaning the new image has overwritten the old image at the same URL
Now for the thumbnail that appears on the homepage, the old image thumbnail continues to appear on the homepage with this URL: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/9b7ee3d0350be56446d52e7073839055_XL_thumb100.jpg
Here again notice the thum100.jpg
But while investigating i gone through the k2 cache folder located at media/k2/cache where k2 stores all the versions (6 in all) of all images being uploaded and to my big surprise the new image thumbnail is well there but with a different URL: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/9b7ee3d0350be56446d52e7073839055_S.jpg
Now why on my homepage despite clearing cache etc still the old image thumbnail is still appearing because its pointing to the wrong URL, now the question is how do i point it to the new good URL?

I just visited your listing page and located the item you have posted, the one with the bus. Both links seem OK.
The first link you have posted though (www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/...53db_XL_thumb100.jpg) doesn't seem to be generated from K2. All K2 images that are being generated have the size at the end of the filename, like the last url you have posted (www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/...d52e7073839055_S.jpg)
Where can I see an image that has the _thumb100.jpg at the end?
Did you use any other extension or have made any modification to K2 which would result with this filename?
Maybe you have made modifications for a mobile version of your site?

Hello Yiota
Well you are perfectly right after investigation the link with the thumb100.jpg file is being generated by another module called "News Show SP1"
sorry my mistake
Its this module that is generating this image and example link here: www.defimedia.info/media/k2/items/cache/54a181c0553a93e6fea172256af3735b_XL_thumb100.jpg
the problem is that when joomla caching is enable am not able to overwrite this image,can you help please? even setting the image to 777 permission i cant overwrite it when replacing this image from backend.

This is in my opinion a faulty implementation of the module you are using. It shouldn't generate this kind of filenames for the images. Anyway, try to disable the module's cache in case something changes with that.
Otherwise you should advise the module's developers in order to help you with a solution.

I have exported my k2 categories and items via php-admin to a new site and attempted to transfer and images to the media/k2 images folder - the categories images are correct but the items are not
Is their a solution to this without having to upload the images again

@Sanjiv Khullar
In order to make images work you need to transfer the items with the same IDs as they appear on the first site.
